About The School
The College is divided into "learning communities." The layout of the College is based on contemporary principles in school design. The learning neighbourhoods include open planned classrooms for up to 25 students, work spaces for small groups, for flexible spaces for art and science in junior levels and links to specialist areas for Design and Technology Studies, Health and Physical Education, and the Performing Arts. They feature open, large scale learning areas, interview spaces that substitute as a work space for 3-4 students, links to the outdoors environment and breakout areas for a range of teaching and learning activities.
The College logo captures the colours in the uniform:
The burnt orange/red is matched to the pin stripe in our girls winter uniform; green/khaki in our trousers and cargo pants; blue is the sports uniform; and white is in the shirt/polo shirt.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
